In a recent episode of ‘The Kardashians,’ Kim Kardashian revealed that she has embarked on a therapy journey, inspired by her sister Kourtney. This revelation came as a surprise to Kourtney, who only learned about Kim’s therapy sessions during a candid conversation on the show. Kourtney’s reaction was one of genuine surprise, exclaiming, “No way!” upon hearing the news.
Kim shared that her decision to seek therapy was influenced by observing Kourtney’s own positive experiences with it. Kourtney expressed her belief in the value of therapy for everyone, a sentiment that Kim has come to appreciate. Kim’s therapist, who follows their show, has even suggested that all the Kardashian sisters, particularly Kim and Khloé, could benefit from therapy.

In a reflective moment, Kim spoke about how she once believed her strength lay in avoiding conflicts, but her therapist pointed out that this might indicate underlying trauma. Kim realised that living in a constant state of fight or flight had impacted her. This insight was a turning point for her, leading to a deeper understanding of herself and her relationships.
Kim acknowledged that her journey in therapy has been eye-opening, particularly in terms of improving her relationships with her children and any future partners. She shared a key takeaway from her sessions: “You can have better relationships—with your kids and your future partner—if you figure your issues out. So that’s why I’m doing it.”
The conversation between the sisters also touched on the perception others have of Kim. She mentioned that she is often not taken seriously, but Kourtney dismissed the need to prove anything to anyone. This exchange highlighted Kim’s introspection and her willingness to grow.
Kim also discussed her past relationships, mentioning that her intense work schedule has been a challenge. She reflected on a moment with an ex-boyfriend, who asked her to take a week off, marking the beginning of the end of their relationship. This instance underscored the importance of balance and self-awareness, lessons that Kim is exploring through therapy.
Kourtney voiced her enthusiasm for Kim’s journey, emphasising the value of understanding oneself and the reasons behind one’s choices. “The biggest thing is just getting to know yourself and why you make certain choices and why you operate that way,” Kourtney said. “I think once you know it, it can help you make a better decision.”
While Kourtney is supportive of individual therapy, she quickly dismissed the idea of family therapy for the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan. She believes that each family member is on a unique personal journey, and everyone should address their issues individually.
